    Abstract

    Parapenaeopsis stylifera (H. Milne Edwards, 1837) is a commercially important medium sized prawn of the Indo-Pacific waters. This is a littoral species but known to occur up to 90 m depth in the western Indian ocean (Miquel, 1984). The genus Parapenaeopsis constitutes twenty three species. In India, 11 species have been recorded namely Parapenaeopsis stylifera (H. Milne Edwards, 1837), P. sculptilis (Heller, 1862), P. hardwickii (Miers, 1878), P. tenella, (Bate, 1888), P. cornuta (Kishinouye, 1900), P. acclivirostris Alcock, 1905; P. maxillipedo Alcock, 1906; P. nana Alcock, 1905; P. uncta Alcock, 1905; P. indica Muthu, 1972; and P. longirostris Chanda & Bhattacharya, 2004. All these species are marine, except P. cornuta and P. indica which are mainly found in the mouths of the estuaries and rarely in the sea.
